Every filmmaker knows cinema has the power to move people like nothing else can; however, not every person knows this.
Research and facts alone can’t captivate and create emotion the way a powerful, visual story can capture hearts in just a few seconds of footage.
Video is the equivalent to someone taking a picture worth a thousand words, dousing it in gasoline, and striking a match. People can’t help but watch in awe.
Consequently, a single most powerful video has the possibility to light hearts on fire. It can change the world.
If you’re looking to create actionable results and inspire with anything you do -- if you really want to move people to act -- you probably know you can’t just do it with words alone. While words are influential in their own right, accentuate those words with captivating visuals and watch how transformative your message becomes.
Visuals are to words, what body language is to communication. It’s a two-part process and you need both to convey an effective message. Businesses and individuals have their own complex messages that cannot be communicated solely through text. A simple, effective video is often the best vehicle for giving a message a level of depth and dimension that can be instantly ingested and easily digested.
When I started my video production company, Signature Style Visuals (SSVisuals) in 2018, I wanted to apply my creative skills as a cinematographer to help all manner of brands share their stories with powerful videos that are captivating to viewers and true to themselves. Around that time, I was back home in Dallas visiting when I was asked by various people to produce promotional content for different events or brands. These individuals had seen my New York City film, which was my first travel video that I created weeks prior while on a visit to NYC earlier that spring. This travel film immersed the viewer in the vibrant streets of New York City for a few moments that really captured the unique essence of the Big Apple in a special way. It captivated viewers, and as one of my first professional, most endearing projects, opened doors I didn't think possible.
Two years and many happy clients later, I continue to hone my skills by crafting powerful promotional videos, weddings, commercials, music videos and event coverage for respective businesses and individuals in the Dallas-Fort Worth part of Texas as well as Raleigh, North Carolina. Fast forward to now and I have shot weddings, documentaries, music videos, promotional videos, travel films and directed and shot commercials for small businesses.
Today, my creative team and I strive to bring our creative vision to every project we touch, creating custom video art capable of expressing any message with both style and substance. We can distill the most complex ideas down to their powerful essence, grabbing onto people’s heartstrings while conveying essential information and leaving viewers with simple takeaways that compel them to act on any idea.
